On the menu... piranha

Steven and Jeanelle and the very popular party trick... The Piranha

Writers block. I'm sure it happens to everyone. However, I'm guessing it happens to most people because they can't think of what to talk about. In this case, so much has gone on, so much has been seen and so much has been eaten that I don't know where to start. As a matter of fact, as I write this, I am sitting here with a big fat full belly from a delicious dinner of salad with ham, parmesan and melon as well as quatro queso pizza (see I'm learning Spanish) and chocolate soufflé for dessert. Not to mention a large amount of lambrusco (Spanish rose champagne).

Since so much has happened, I have decided to just skip to the good stuff. As they say, a picture speaks a thousand words. And since I have been up for 20 hours... I'm going to let the pictures do most of the talking.
